Despite the rain and cold weather, we all had a great day at the Fun Run with Foundation, Grade One and Grade Two students running first, followed by Grades 3 and 5 and the Grade 4 and 6 students finished our day.

Thank you to all students who ran and for the parents who came and supported the students.

Year 6 Incursion – Graffiti Prevention and Life Skills (Warner Education funded by Wyndham City Council)

Year 6 students will take part in the Graffiti Prevention and Life Skills incursion on Monday 22nd May 2023. This inspiring and motivational incursion teaches students about the consequences of graffiti, particularly tagging and the difference between street art and graffiti.

The presentation also introduces the topic through more holistic themes, such as respect, choices and consequences, building resilience and self-esteem.

Students and teachers find the program highly motivational as it introduces students to peer pressure situations and offers real life self-help strategies that work. It is also a great way to bring students together to talk about peer pressure and how to support one another.

Grade 6 Camp

On Monday our grade sixes, their teachers and a few other staff members travelled to Anglesea for our annual grade six camp. Despite the cold and cloudy conditions, there was plenty of sunshine to enjoy an array of amazing and fun activities. Students completed team building activities such as raft making and radio rogaine that got them to work with others from across the year level. They also chose a personal challenge and pushed themselves to reach goals on the giant swing and vertical challenge. Camp ended with a day at the beach where some students went surfing while others completed a series of games to collect points for their team with orange team returning to camp victorious. While camp is done for another year, students and staff alike have walked away with many amazing memories and great stories to tell others about their time at the YMCA.

All late comers need to go straight to Ms. Dalton to be signed in.

Please remember to label you child's uniform with their name. We have many items of clothing in lost property that we cannot return because there is no name on the items.
